Google releases Google Desktop search for the Mac, an alternative to the built-in Spotlight for digging up files on OS X.

Unlike its Windows counterpart, GDesktop for Mac does NOT include gadgets or a toolbar - simply search. Once installed, hitting the Cmd key twice summons the GD as-you-type search box (like Ctrl, Ctrl on Windows) and all the normal Google Desktop advanced search operator trickery works, too. Plus GDesktop can include Gmail messages in your search results, which obviously Spotlight cannot. (In System Preferences, go to Google Desktop to configure your Gmail account.) How do you think Google Desktop stacks up against Spotlight? Let us know in the comments.
